Steps Taken by the Attorney General's Office to Face Heavy Challenges
In the alleged corruption case of PT Duta Palma Group owned by the suspect Surya Darmadi, Attorney General did not only use instruments for state losses, but also tried to prove the state's economic losses.
Suspect Surya Darmadi was taken to Adhyaksa General Hospital, Jakarta, for a health check after undergoing an examination at the Attorney General's Office (18/8/2022).
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The move by the Attorney General's Office (AGO) to apply the state economy clause, not only to the state losses, in the Surya Darmadi case will face serious challenges. However, if successful, the step will be very significant in returning state losses.
According to the results of the latest calculations by the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes at the AGO in collaboration with the Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP) released by the AGO in Jakarta on Tuesday (Aug. 30), state financial losses and the state economy in the case reached Rp 104.1 trillion (US$7 billion). In detail, the state financial loss was Rp 4.9 trillion ($330 million) and the state economic losses reached Rp 99.2 trillion ($6.7 billion).
